Hernandez reveals Van Gaal talk which prompted United exit

Van Gaal was quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: “The most important thing for me as a trainer, coach and manager is the chemistry between me and my players and my board”.

Van Gaal’s side controlled the possession but worryingly had just one shot on target once they fell behind for the second time. If United had beaten Wolfsburg, they would have topped the group in their place, and a relatively easy path to the Champions League quarter finals would have beckoned.

Michael Carrick, the United captain in the absence of Wayne Rooney, vowed that the club would “be giving everything to win” the Europa League but there was a hollow ring to his promise.

While, the Red Devils have been struggling to score goals, Hernandez has been in superb form, scoring 17 goals in 20 appearances for the German outfit so far this season. However, when United fans cast their gaze towards the club’s future without Louis Van Gaal, they should see a very rosy picture. This arrogance comes from the history of being the top team in England for better part of the Premier League era, and it was something David Moyes just couldn’t contemplate.

Former Manchester United striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez is ripping it up lately in the the Bundesliga. his hat trick on Saturday powered Bayer Leverkusen to a 5-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

That by no means represents an very bad first half of the campaign, but it is the way United have played that is really upsetting the fans – and plenty of neutrals, too.

GRAEME SOUNESS has dismissed Manchester United’s chances of winning winning the Premier League this season.

It is true some of his decisions were rather questionable, but at the end of the day, Sir Alex Ferguson made a series of mistakes himself throughout his 27-year tenure at this much sought-after club.

“I think he is the best manager in history, in the way he managed his players”.

The players are said to be becoming increasingly frustrated with Van Gaal’s defensive football, and especially at the manager’s lack of receptiveness to their own ideas. “He opened the doors to Europe for me and I also won two league titles under him”.
